For which, the U.S. Government, i.e., the U.S. taxpayer, paid $3.1 million dollars in damages. The settlement signaled that government agents were liable for the unwarranted deaths, but no one was held responsible.<\/p>\n<p>These events (Ruby Ridge and Waco&mdash;<em>M<\/em>) are not \u201cwhen\u201d the U.S. Government went off the rails, but it\u2019s when they decided they were beyond reproach by the American people. These events signaled to them that they could do whatever their perverted minds dreamed up if it were associated with some minor crime better dealt with individually, privately and less confrontationally. But that wouldn\u2019t send the message they wanted, which is that they are in control of the people, not the other way around.<\/p>\n<p>Having been successful in defaming and indeed murdering many, many more over the years, their lack of accountability has only emboldened them to greater depths until they have completely lost a sense of humanity. The people are merely cattle to be controlled and occasionally murdered for the sake of optics. It bothers them no more than stepping on a cockroach or two to scatter the rest. Thousands of people died as a direct result of the orders of Governor Andrew Cuomo and he has suffered no penalties, even written books to honor his brilliance.<\/p>\n<p>We are not free; we are not endowed with rights by our Creator. We are wards of the state; property and when defective (free) we are subject to the penalty of death. That is their message to us. They are right. They do have the power. They do have the absolution of the state for their evil. One person, a free person, does not stand a chance against the weight of arms we have put in their hands. They can come and slaughter us all, one by one, or burn our house down in the middle of the night, blocking the doors, shooting through the windows as human beings try to save their lives (they\u2019ve done it before). They can launch a drone strike. They can deny us employment. They can deny us food. They can deny us water. They can inject us with some infectious disease or poison. But they cannot do it alone.<\/p>\n<p>Like all agents of the state, they act with the authority of the people. While they might respond only to presidents, governors, mayors, county commissions as being in the chain of command, all of those positions require at least the assumed authority of the people. Even in the darkest days of communism in Russia, it was with the acquiescence of the people that they acted. It was the blind-eye of society that allowed it. No group of individuals has the power of the people unless the people acquiesce in some manner to their power.<\/p>\n<p>The only real question to be asked of the people is when is enough, enough?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That seems to be the question on pretty much everyone&#8217;s mind these days, the question we&#8217;re all on tenterhooks waiting to see answered. If history is any guide, and I have to believe that it is, that answer will come from an entirely unlooked-for place, at a hideously unpropitious moment, and will be a far cry from anything any of us have predicted or expected. Analyzing, debating, and thoughtful consideration are all fine things&mdash;maybe even necessary things, <em>crucial<\/em> things. But in the end, all of them will be blown away on the wind like the smoke they truly are. We can only ready ourselves as best we can&#8230;and then wait.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To adjust and update an old expression: Nobody can take advantage of oppress you without your permission.
